Description
This lesson introduces translation by a vector in the coordinate plane. In this lesson, we represent a vector as an arrow with an initial point and a terminal point. Students learn vector notation and the idea that a vector can represent a shift (i.e., a translation). They calculate the magnitude of a vector, add and subtract vectors, and multiply a vector by a scalar. Students interpret these operations geometrically and compute them component-wise.
